Sage is the common name for any of the species of plants belonging to the taxonomic genus '''salvia'''. is a plant that is native in Mexico and Southeast Asia. The salvia plant is an annual plant that grows anywhere from about one to three feet tall. It has white flowers that come in a bundle of six and are surrounded by a small purple calyx. The leaves from the plant are hairless and completely smooth which give it a brittle complexion. They also have a small yellow color on the underside of the leaves. The stems are square and hollow which end up causing them to break much easier. Their fruit come in small nuts that bloom rarely for a short time each year. The main use of salvia is as a drug that is used as a hallucinogen drug and is still legal in many states. | '''Sage''' is the common name for any of the species of plants belonging to the taxonomic genus '''salvia'''. is a plant that is native in Mexico and Southeast Asia.

Salvia is an annual plant that comes back every year. The stems are typically angled, but the leaves are usually completely entire and toothed. The flowering stems hold small bracts. Salvia has large green leaves, with a yellow outline that reach four to twelve inches long. The leaves are hairless on both sides, and have either a small petiole or no petiole at all. The plant can grow to over three feet in height on hollow square stems which tend to break very easily, with the plant rooting quite readily at the nodes. The leaves are attached in small bundles to the stem where they meet the flowers. | Salvia is an annual plant that comes back every year.
